2. A 'small' asteroid with a mass of 1000kg is moving through deep space with a constant velocity of 30 m/s. Suddenly the small asteroid collides with a large asteroid possessing a mass of 10,000kg. The large asteroid was initially at rest and the collision causes the small mass to become completely embedded within the larger one so that they are now one combined mass. a. What is the speed of the combined mass system after the collision? b. How many Joules of energy were lost due to the collision?

At a carnival game, two balls are Identical in mass and radius, but one is made of steel and one is made of rubber. The game is to throw them at a bowling pin and try to knock it over. If the balls are thrown with the same speed and hit the same spot on the bowling pin, which Is more likely to knock it over? A. The steel ball B. Without knowing more information, this cannot be answered. C. Both are equally likely since they have the same momentum D. The rubber ball
